O.M.D.

With the release of Disney+ earlier this month (this is not a plug), I found myself engaged in all those films I haven't seen since I was a child. Most of these have been obscured because - well - no one's heard of them, let alone watched them.

(I also realize I've been severely lacking in Obscure Movie Day posts, hopefully, this film today will make up for it.)


A Kid in King Arthurs Court


This film was an adaptation of the beloved novel, "A Connitenicut Yankee in King Arthur's Court."

It begins with a little league game. An earthquake occurs and a kid is sent back to - yup. King Arthur's court.

He has to navigate the court, outwitting an evil duke in order to find a way home.

Check it out today!

(It's short this week, thought I'd have more time. Nope.)

W.I.P. National Novel Writing Month 2019

Well.

Back to the month of something in the air that drive us all to write over 50,000 words.

Here's a snippet of what I'm working on, how about you?

“Take those two away.”

The voice of the Erlkonig startled her. She turned. Watched as the Guard escorted the two offenders of magic away. She couldn’t call them parents at all – they hadn’t raised her. They hadn’t been there her entire life until they wanted something from her. Of her.

They tried to put up a fight. Without magic, they were nothing.

That could have been me.

The thought haunted her.

If she had been raised by these two, she would have wound up on the other side of the coin. Between light and dark she was already walking along the grey line. She knew going to the dark side wasn’t an option. Yet, there were also repercussions for going too far into the light.

Her parents had gone to both extremes.

When the sounds of protest from them faded, she was left among a crowd. While they were all friends, it was still too much.

The power the book had blasted had drawn out everyone within the town boundaries.

“Miss Smok?”

Her name cleared some of the daze in her eyes. Her mind was still foggy. There was a haze that was trying to clear.

Shaking away the cobwebs she saw the forest.

Across the field she watched someone emerge from the shadows of the trees. They stumbled slightly, as though the legs were unfamiliar on land or with the land. They stumbled a while before straightening and looking up. At her.

What are you up to this month? Leave a comment below.



EDIT: I posted this on Monday.....do I get points for being early?

Book Nook: Murder Buys a T-Shirt

Glad tidings this Book Nook Day!

I finally finished reading a book!!

Title: Murder Buys a T-Shirt
Author: Christy Fifeld
Series: A Haunted Souvenier Shop


This little novel was one of the best reads I've had so far this year.

It takes place in Key Hole Bay, Florida. We follow the owner of Southern Treasures, Miss Glory as she tries her best to make ends meet during the off season.

The introduction of the characters is a delightful way to find yourself sitting in a small town. It brings you into the community.

When an young rising football star is killed in an automobile accident, things appear straight and narrow. Until a ghost in the shop starts hinting that not everything is quite as it seems.

Now Glory and her friends must find out the truth of what happened before its too late!


With a wonderful array of character and a cursing parrot, this novel is one of the best quick reads you'll find.



Keep tuned for the last couple weeks of 2019!

It's Beginning

The fall season again.

Well, still.

Personally I love the whole aspect of fall in general. It's the cool weather, the color schemes. Hot chocolate. Apple Cider.

Take some time out of your day to enjoy the day.

Take time to appreciate life in general.


Have a fantastic week.
